## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Family Violence & Protection Orders](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-violence-and-protection-orders.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Set the order's conditions beside the events in the police report, with a row for each condition the report appears to touch. Find no violation. |
| What the lawyer must review | California Penal Code section 13701 requires law-enforcement policies to require arrest, absent exigent circumstances, where there is probable cause that a protective order has been violated, including an order of another state, a tribe or a military tribunal. The same section tells officers to make reasonable efforts to identify the dominant aggressor, defined as the most significant rather than the first aggressor, considering the law's intent to protect victims from continuing abuse, threats, the history between the people, and self-defence. That is an arrest-policy rule, not a finding that a court must enter mutual orders. Interstate enforcement of the order itself is 18 USC section 2265, including the cross-petition limits in subsection (c). You decide whether the report matches a condition of this order. Opinion 512. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Set the order's conditions beside the events in the police report, with a row for each condition the report appears to touch. Find no violation.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Dominant aggressor in section 13701 is for the officer's arrest decision. It is not a national test for who may hold an order.
- A federal interstate offence is a different statute. Do not charge it from this table.
